Personally I didn’t think the pregnancy test one really counted, either, but I’m with you on this one. This isn’t just “I put Doom on a sex toy,” but “I put Doom on a sex toy and used game events to trigger its functionality,” which is a level above.

Also looking at the pregnancy test one now I might change my mind. They did use a different microcontroller and screen, but the pregnancy test already had a microcontroller inside it; it just wasn’t programmable. If the replacement microcontroller and screen had the same specs as the old one, it’s more than fair to call that a win IMO. At that point, it’s the same hardware, after all.

Yeah I haven't seen the pregnancy test one, can't really claim it's the test running it when it's not. Definitely agree with your point as well.

Except the original pregnancy test screen would have been something like a 2 or 3 segment LCD. They don't need to display anything but yes or no.

Ah, good point. Apparently it shows 4 different things: https://twitter.com/foone/status/1301718864573554689
